When the sickness came, every parent, police officer, politician – every adult – fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others were left crazed, confused and hungry. Hungry for the flesh of the living.
Only children under the age of sixteen remain, and now they're fighting to survive.
Meanwhile, the Volturi are facing their own problems.
With the world's population in rapid decline, it is within their best interests to keep the people – namely the children – that remain, alive.
For what will their species feed upon when the remaining humans die?
The Cullen's, however, have a different dilemma.
Carlisle is having difficulties sitting back and watching the children be slaughtered mercilessly by the Strangers, and wishes to construct some sort of haven for them, where they can be safe, until the Strangers starve to death.
Half of the family agrees with him, whilst half of them don't, and now the Cullen's are finding themselves in the biggest argument they have had since Bella's arrival in Edward's life.
And to make matters worse, the animals are getting sick now too.
What is to be done?
